Decided to try portupgrade of XFree 4.0 to 4.2. I had my reservations
about whether it would work but after reading enough I felt confident.
I think you can guess by my subject line that it didn't work. I'd
appreciate any suggestions you folks can give on the following
problem. I've got a script of the full portupgrade session if it
helps.
It all comes down to possibly a broken x11/XFree86-4 port, cause the
same failure that portupgrade saw I saw from the commandline. I
cvsupped everything just minutes before I tried the upgrade, so I know
my ports tree is current.
the details:
I ran 'portupgrade -NrRv XFree86' and walked away, figuring it would
take a few hours. The problem was that the first step FAILED, yet
portupgrade continued. Of course everything after bombed out because
none of the X libs/headers were present. My original setup was the
single XFree86 port which includes all the required pieces. I figured
upgrading this meta-port would do the trick.
The failure is that there is a missing MD5 checksum file associated
with the XFree86-4 port. The log shows this error, but portupgrade
continued. On the commandline with make, it proceeds while actually
doing nothing.
sjt-bsd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 # make
===> Extracting for XFree86-4.2.0_1,1
>> No MD5 checksum file.
===> XFree86-4.2.0_1,1 depends on shared library: Xft.1 - found
===> Patching for XFree86-4.2.0_1,1
===> Configuring for XFree86-4.2.0_1,1
pkg_info shows only the following packages installed after
portupgrade:
XFree86-clients-4.2.0_3 XFree86-4 Client environments
XFree86-documents-4.2.0 XFree86-4 Document Files
even though I only had installed the meta-port originally. I'm
guessing that these got included as dependencies of the various X
clients that were on the upgrade list. Somehow XF86 libs & headers
were NOT installed though...
At the end of portupgrade I see this:

Note that XFree86-4 supposedly succeeded.
